It lacks a take-out menu and the trendiness of Amsterdam Falafel and Kabob, but Juba Restaurant and Cafe’s Middle Eastern cuisine definitely wins on taste.

With an Arabic news station playing in the background and atmosphere of a family-run business I almost forgot I was in Omaha.

Though usually a table is not difficult to find, Juba is, according to Raid Alanazi, a Saudi foreign exchange student studying English at Creighton, “absolutely packed after sunset during Ramadan [the Muslim holiday where fasting is practiced.]”
